“Car buyers are more informed than ever, but how much pricing and payment information does a dealer need to disclose to engage the online shopper?” says Shebesta, “Dealers are concerned that the push for online deal creation and end-to-end solutions could end up removing them from the sales process or keep the shopper from committing to a transaction altogether.”
